To my executors.

Breaux Bridge Sept. 25th 1881.
In view of the forthcoming contest for Cover
nor in this state, we the friends and supporters
of Gen. Nichols, here met this day to form
club. which shall be known under the style of
the Fourth Ward Democratic Club of the Parish
of st. Martin. and to the end of securing the de-
legation of the Parish of st. Martin to Gen. F, T.
Nichols we pledge our hearty support.
Mr.. Omer Martin having been unanimously
elected President and DR.. +. r. Martin Secretary
the following resolutions were passed and adop-
ted.
Resolved, That we declare ourselves to be
strenuously opposed to any third term, as anti
democratic. anti-republican and nerly anti-con-
stitutional, and fraught with the greatest danger
to the unity and prosperity of our republicans
institutions.
Resolved, That we hereby fully endorse the
candidacy of Gen. F. T. Nichollr, because we re-
cognize in him the brave soldier, the true patriot
and the talented Statesman.
Resol we'd. That we cannot find words or ex-
pressions sufficient to stamp with the scale Of
our reprobation the slander and vile language
which has been used by certain papers against
Gen. Nichols and that we trust that no such
language shall be used by our political friends
against Gov. McEnery.
Resolved, That we deprecate the idea that Gen
Nichols has undertaken this political campaign
with any motive of ambition or selfshness. but
that we are under the most sincere conviction
that his work in this instance is deed dictated
by his devotedness and love to the people and to
the State Of Louisiana.
Resolved, That a copy Of these resolutions be
sent To the St. Martinville Messenger and to the
New Orleans Pioayune. Twenty vice-presidents
were also elected. viz:
Alphonse Guilbeau, yalery Guilbeau, Aimar

had failed to understand, and they all joined
with me in expressing the greatest admra-
ton of the acute and skillful programme de-
vised by the old Zulu, who was, indeed, in his
own savage fashion, the finest general ever
knew. After some discussion we determined
to accept the scheme as it stood, ii being the
only one possible under the circumstances,
and giving the best chance Of success that
such a forlorn hope would admit of-whica,
however, considering the enormous odds and
the character of our foe, was not very great.

As for Umslopogaas, we know how he was
armed-with ala ak. Il may be remembered
that he, Sir Horny, and the strong,st Of the
Askari were to hold the thorn stopped en-

This was too much for the old CHIEFS
patience. For the last ten minutes his lips
had been, figuratively speaking, positively
watering over the Nasal Lygonani, and this
he could not stand. Placing his long hand TN
the Elmoran's shoulder, he griped him and
gave him such twist as brought him face to
face with himself. Then, thrusting his fierce
countenance to within a few inches of the
Masai's evil, feather framed features, he said,
in low, growing voice:
"Seest thou me"
"Ay, fellow, see thee"

to go, still laughing.
"Thou shalt stand against me man TO man,

the same ominous voice "Thou shalt stand
